AGC1/2, the mitochondrial aspartate-glutamate carriers

文摘

AGC1 and AGC2 export aspartate from mitochondria in exchange for cytosolic glutamate and a proton.

The kinetic properties of AGCs were extensively studied in proteoliposomes.

AGCs participate to cellular REDOX homeostasis and the calcium-mediated control of mitochondrial respiration via the malate-aspartate shuttle.

AGCs gene deficiencies are responsible for rare diseases.

AGC1 is central to neuronal physiology and also plays a role in glutamate-induced excitotoxicity.

AGCs are overexpressed in several types of human tumors.

In silico and in vitro screenings of chemical libraries for identifying new AGC pharmacological modulators are in progress
